What Shall I Read This June? + Giveaway

I realised the other day
that I've been doing these Throwback Thursday posts inspired by Melissa at
My World...in words and
pictures for nearly year now - I have
posted about over 50 books I own but I have hardly read any yet. So
on the first Thursday of each month I will post a poll
highlighting all the Throwback Thursday books I've highlighted in the last month
plus one of the older Throwbacks and ask you to pick which book I should read.
The most popular book after 5 days or so, will be picked up by me and actually
read and (hopefully!) reviewed by the end of the month. However, in thanks I
will also offer anyone who enters a copy of any book from my TBR Shelf. This way
older books get a lot of love from both of us!So to summarise - - Pick a book you want me to read from my Throwback
Thursday's posts and be in with a chance to win a book for yourself from my TBR
pile for your own - check my TBR Shelf at the top for some other books that I
need to get round to reading! - I'll
ship it out to from the Book Depository so it will be open internationally.
- Leave a comment for an extra entry
telling my why I should read your choice!- Open to followers only (Sorry, but I want to reward
those who stop by regularly!). Also I'm not advertising or publicising this
giveaway so it's just for those who read my blog regularly!)- Poll closes midnight on Tuesday 12th June - I will
try to announce the winning book and lucky follower, by next
Thursday.

This month the books I need to give some
serious love to are (you can go to the original posts to see what I said about
them if you click on them!):

I voted for The Desert Spear because I loved the first book in the series. I haven't read this one either, but it is on my list of books to read and I am sure it's going to be awesome! Enjoy reading the winner. ;)

KELLY GAY! You have to read it. I tell you and I'm telling Blodeuedd... HANK IS MINE!!! *glares around room* MINE! Just sayin'... ;D Oh and then you will have to read the next two books after that. You'll be glad that you did. :D

You should definitely read Grimspace - it's a totally fantastic start to an awesome series, and you need to get started or you'll never experience the awesome. My second recommendation would be The Better Part of Darkness, that is a really great book as well. But first read Grimspace. :D

The Better Part of Darkness by Kelly Gay, it was and is still one of my favorite debut books by an author in the last several years. The series just gets better as it goes on. I love Ann Aguirre, however have not started her Sirantha Jax series yet but Grimspace would be my second choice to say read first. Not entering the giveaway Mel, just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth to slim your TBR down. LOL

The Desert Spear, Mel! Only because I've read the other three ;) Divergent was very good, but had flaws, Kelly Gay was just as good, and Grimspace went into my DNF pile because I had huge problems with the writing style. So The Desert Spear it is.

Mel! You have to read Divergent by Veronica Roth! It's a really excellent dystopian story with a dash of romance. There has been so much hype around the blogosphere with the release of book two in the series recently. Surely you HAVE to read it now just to see what all the fuss is about ;)
